After 100 decent workouts in a year, here's what I learnt

To anyone with a gym membership that actually uses it, 100 workouts in a single year probably isn't that great a feat. But to someone like me with no gym membership and just a collection of odd weight plates and bars in the backyard, well nailing the ton when it comes to workout sessions is something I'm pretty happy with. Especially when I'm 41 years old, asthmatic and something like this caps off my biggest year of fitness ever.  However it wasn't without it's lessons along the way..

I did some secret business and then I couldn't walk. And you should too.

If you've ever met me, two things quickly become apparent. 1) I have less hair (and attitude) than Bruce Willis and 2) I have the fitness level of a long term unemployed unmotivated sumo wrestler. Yeah that looks like me. Which meant when I got an invite from my mate Arj (who has hair and could wrestle a bear) to one of his 'Secret Men's Business training sessions' I really should have thought twice. Or warmed up properlly. Or both. But boy am I glad I did.
